James G. Sozzi

Lisa, I'm so very sorry. Jim was a very thoughtful, kind and loving man, who I adored . I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you this morning. I did watch the the service online. It was so moving and genuine. Jim had a lot of people who loved him dearly. Your heart wrenching speech had me in tears. I know how much you two loved and respected each other. When I think of him, I always smile. He was like a brother to me when we were kids. I didn't have any brothers. He taught me how to throw and bat a ball. He taught me various other sports. He was so gentle and always made me feel safe. The way you loved Jimmy was so sweet. Love surrounded you both. I hope your memories and adventures will stay strong with you. I wish you the very best Lisa. You are a beautiful person and you gave Jimmy a wonderful life.
All my love,
Judy DiGirolamo Lapple ( Jim's nextdoor neighbor)

I'm lucky to have had 67 years of friendship, ... a lifetime of memories. In the time I spent with Jim, I believe there were three things that really defined his life: dedication and loyalty to family, friends & clients, his incredible work ethic, which started with his first paper route in the 60's and carried through his entire working life, and I always appreciated his unique sense of humor which gave me much joy over the years. I asked Jim to meet me at the Gates of Heaven, and I know he will.
